PJ Lane, whose father popular entertainer Don Lane was lost to dementia, said it was an honour to be associated with Alzheimer’s Australia NSW as an Ambassador.

“My dad developed dementia and I know first hand the difficulties associated with the illness and, in particular, for those caring for someone with dementia,” PJ said. “I will do whatever is possible to promote awareness of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It is important people realise life does not stop with a diagnosis of dementia and that there is help available.”
